he Center for Aging Research is focused on:
(1) helping faculty and students to develop funded
research in applied gerontology, (2) developing and
recruiting faculty interested in gerontological research,
and (3) developing partnerships with New York State and
community agencies to conduct applied gerontological
research. The Institute and Center conduct a variety of
applied research projects sponsored by federal, state,
and foundation sources.

The Center on Excellence in Aging Services
fosters the integration of research, service and
education through policy and practice exemplars. It
currently includes the Hartford
Internships in Aging Program, a program funded by the
John A. Hartford Foundation to improve the education of
masters-level social work students. It also houses the Retired
Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), which recruits and
places over 1000 seniors in volunteer capacities in
community agencies throughout the Capital District.
